Hi teachers!
My son is in kindergarten this year, and we absolutely love his teacher. I’m hoping to get her something a bit unique for teacher appreciation week (to go along with the gift card I’ll give her regardless). I do a bit of “extreme couponing,” and was thinking of putting together a gift basket of sorts with personal care and household items from my couponing ventures. Laundry detergent, cleaning products, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, lotion, hair masks, toilet paper, dish soap…that sort of thing. Would this be appreciated, or just too weird? (Again, this would be to supplement the gift card, not replace it….i know y’all need some gift cards in your lives)
Any insight you guys have would be so appreciated! Thanks for your help!!
UPDATE:
Thanks so much for your insight, all!! Exactly the info I was looking for. I will plan to give her the gift card, and then do some couponing for items for the classroom.
In response to the one or two of you that had (perhaps less helpful) comments about my intentions— I was not thinking of going this route just because I already have the items, or because I view anybody as a charity case. I just know most people don’t have the time or interest in doing the whole couponing thing— and with prices SO high right now, my intent was solely to ease some of the financial burden of running a household with some practical items that would easily be $200+ bought full-price.
Again, I so appreciate all of the wonderful insights and perspectives you guys have provided! Happy teacher appreciation week to each of you 💜
